Four people from Magdeburg chosen for EHF Excellence Awards

Four Magdeburg Players Nominated for EHF Excellence Awards

After the TruckScout24 EHF FINAL4, the European Handball Federation (EHF) will give the Excellence Awards. These awards started in 2023. They are for the best players of the handball season.

This year, the prize will be given again. SC Magdeburg is very well represented. Last year, three players from SC Magdeburg won the award. This year, four players from the team are nominated.

• Magnus Saugstrup is one of the best circle runners. (A circle runner is a player who plays near the goal area.)
• Omar Ingi Magnusson is one of the best right backcourt players. (Backcourt players play behind the forwards.)
• Felix Claar and Gisli Kristjansson are fighting for the best midfielder award. (Midfielders play in the middle of the court.)

Players, coaches, media, and fans can vote. Voting starts on Wednesday, 17 June, and ends on Sunday, 21 June at 23:59.

Each group’s votes count for 25% of the total score for each position. Positions include outfield player, goalkeeper, and defensive specialist.

You can vote using the EHF’s “Home of Handball” app.
